A therapist who does the work with you.
I believe couples therapy works best when it's brave, structured, and warm — and when the therapist is willing to be a real human in the room.
Hi, I'm Athena.
For more than thirty years, I've specialized in working with couples navigating infidelity, communication breakdowns, and the slow erosion of intimacy. I trained as a Marriage & Family Therapist because I wanted to be useful in the exact moments love feels most fragile — when trust has been broken, when partners can no longer hear each other, when one is already halfway out the door.
In private practice, I've sat with thousands of couples through their hardest seasons. Most of my work now happens in intensives — a concentrated format that lets couples move through their hardest challenges and rediscover their strengths together.
Outside of the office, I live with my husband of 30 years. We enjoy travel and hiking, and spending time with our three daughters and one very loud dog.
